Editorial: ASNIC hoard assaults right to know There were few resistance fighters present the day democracy died at IC- the an.ad was slow and silent. However. there were some casualues-nameJy. the public's right 10 know and the willingness of elected officials to stand up and face that public. The uaaall: The attack on rights that began March 16 ended decisi~cly April lJ ,.,hen, after a five-minute ' 'recess." the ASNIC Student Board voted 6· 1 to reserve the nght 10 ban tape recorders from its meeti ngs at the wllim of any of its members. Earlier in the year, the board , after being t1Sted by the Cardinal Review 10 research whether II fell under the Idaho open meeung oode (we asked because the board was spending a great nmoun1 of iLs meeting times in executive session). t he board voted unanimously to follow the ··spirit ' ' of that code. The analysis: "Jne C:irdmnl Review Slaff members. of course. arc the students who presently use tape recorders in board rncctings.

Generics out of hand Amcric:ins are today faced with :i gro\\ ing, seemingly relcn1less economic force-generic products. Once upon a time. some energe1ic. pimple-faced clerk in a large grocery s1ore came up ,,ith a grea1 idea in the sp1nt of free emerprise. Al:is, no-n:ime products were born. The idea seems like a good one. In a society constant!~· pronounced :is being materialistic and as being preoccupied with 1he "keep up wilh the Joneses" mentality. it is nice io assume that commoners could de,·iate 10 practicality. So. as Del Monte and Hunts gasped and groaned. the infamous black and white labels hit the shelves. Along with the regular generic products we have come to know. love and accept have also emerged generic beer (and light beer) and generic pharmaceuticnl medicines. But one must surelv ask. "What is ne:ct?" Perhaps the ne:ct st;p forwanl in "generic engineering·· will be generic cars. Imagine the streets filled by white cars with black pinstripes bearing only the word "Car" printed on its exterior. These cars would be designed by a Germ:in. assembled by Japanese and financed by Americ:ins. In the world of educ:ition. one m3} anend a generic college. This school would have no fraternities. no prestige. and its studen ts would have no athletic prowess upon graduation. students would receive a plain. white diploma signed by no one and only bearing the word "Diploma .. at the bottom. Elaborate offices for teachers would be discouraged as well, a.nd door signs would read only "psychology teache r,'' or "English teacher" or whatever was appropriate. So, with a generic diploma (declaring that one had graduated with okayness with a B.A. in Average Business Management) in hand. one could hop into one·s .. Car.. and drive off into the black and white sunset.

Leu er writer says

Dear editor: The Ap ril I J student bonrd decision to ban tnpe recorders in board meetings is silly. The vote restricts 'itude n1 ·s rights by forcing them to rely on memory alone to decipher the confusion that usu:illy accompanies student board mee11ngs. The decision also restricts the rights of the handicapped. I have a hearing problem. Sometimes I am required to cover a board meeting for my journalism class. It would be impossible fo r me to do this w11hou1 a recording device.

Additionally. I ~hould 1hink that for the purpose of accuracy that the board me mbers would want lo be understood. Finally. I suspect that the vole is primarily directed toward rhe Cardinal Review srnff. l hope the board is not so petty as lo want lo penoli,e all students for their "beef" with th e NIC paper. I urge the board to reconsider the April IJ vote. Thank you, Raymond A Wright

Leaving play 'educational' Dear editor: One of the most enduring qualities of the American Education System is the s1reng1h of the "Mademic Freedom" enjoyed by students and faculty alike. And a major aspect of that freedom is the free use of mature discretion in determining what coristitu1es an educative experience worth our time and a1ten1ion. To argue that a dramatic presentation of one man's bizarre intcrpreuuion of the human condition, whether it is affirmative or pejorative of that human condition. is automatically deserving of ou r devotion and attention. or even our a11cndancc and ~upport. simply because it is "Educative Theatre ... borders so closely upon forced an that s hades of "1984" seem strangely more real. "The Skin of our Teeth' ' is theatre of the absurd. at best: it is the kind of play that can grate upon one's patience. with a few funny lin!s and cliches and puns tossed ou1 10 the audience occa,;iouolly 10

appease their appetite for something relevant. The right to protest. or just to renect disapproval of tha1 which displeases us. is an inheren1 "privilege . . . nay the duty of every brave knigh1'" of the American ideal of libeny and enlightenment. With so many pro\•ocative and stimulating dramas to choose from. from Christopher Marlowe to Tim Rarick. the decision 10 expose 1he Coeur d 'A lene audience to a "play'" which qualifies as drama only by the skin 0 1 tlS teeth-an<l which so begs the question of its audience that it's such a profoundly intellectually challenging drama that the script calls for its actors 10 directly quiz the audience upon its meaning-is really pressing our patience to the breaking point. And it is a good lesson for the student of "Educational Theatre'' when the audience reacts honestly to the play-even if they walk out mid-play.

Without the effort~ of many of our local lcgislato~. and some not from 1he local area, I am sure this project would not hn,c goncn off the ground this year.

bill bradshaw Phony tears fill Atlantic Once again, a small. seemingly insignificant spot on the map has become the scene of a potentially major military flare-up between 1wo fairly prominent powers. This rime it is a small group of islands in the sou1hermnos1 Atlantic Ocean 1ha1 is 4.700 square miles in area with a population of approiimately 1,800. Since the 18J0s the Falkland Islands (known as Las Islas Mahinas in Argentina} ha"e been ruled b,• Great Britain and almost all of 1he l .800 people that live 1here3rc of British descent and just want 10 be left alone. However, in that century and :i half of British rule. ownership of the Falklands has been contested. first by Sp:iin. which used 10 hold much of the Americas :is its colonies. and later by Argentina. which brough1 the issue to a head with its invasion and conquest earlier this month. Now Argentina has requested 1ha1 the Organization of American States (OAS) invoke hemispheric sanctions against Britain to avoid the possibility of an anned confrontation. If Argentina were so worried about the threat of war. why did it invade in lhe first place? · And then there's Argentine Ambassador R:iul Quij:ino·s accusation before the permanent council of the OAS that Britain is making a return 10 ··gunboat diplomacy." This is in reference to the fact that Brn.:un has threatened to rernke the islands by force. if necessary and that the lc:id vessels of the armod:i of 10· British warships will be "ithm striking range by this weekend. But \\ hat ,, :is the 1niual Argentine im•asion if not gunboat diploma(:)·? Somehow. all lhe tt) ing o,·er the chance of war wi th Britafo by · 1he Argentine go\'ernment seems like nothing more than crocodile tears. If the I\\O n:itions in,•olved in the dispute are genuine!~ concerned for peace. the question of sovereignty and "hose Oag is to Oy o,er the Falklands will not actualy bring them to the point of a fight.

In bad economic umes i1 is somenmes hard 10 give that extra needed to m:untam the societ, \\C ha\e bu1h for ourselves.

Convocations speakers stress individual rights b) Ronale Anson special 10 the CR lndi,•iduols hove the right to privacy. freedom and access to 311 forms of commun1C11tions. ncrordang to three speakcTs during con\'ocarion week at lhc NIC Communicorion-Ans Auditorium. Philip L. Bereono. Dr. Jerry Rosenberg :ind Nicholns Johnson were the keynote speakers 01 the 1981-1982 convocation series. ··The Futurt' of the United Smcs: Will Orwelrs '1984" Be Realized."' Wcdn esd3\'. Thursday and Frid3y. Rosenbe.rg. nu1hor· of ··Toe Death of Privacy:· said that the issue of pri"acy has become more cri11c3J in the last JO years with the advent of the computer. ··You students are really not scudents of the er.i of tclcv1sion: you ore students of the era of compu· ters, .. Rosenberg said. The co mputer Is a wonderful machin e, ' the professor from Rutgers said: but the issue is not the wonders. the issue is the misuses of compurers. Rosenberg said that the larges, violnter of privacy via the computer is in the private sector, rather rhan in government. About 2.200 local credit bureaus are served b) the porent company. Associ:ucd Credit Bureau of America 10 Atlan1a. which collects infonnntion. stores it in computers. and seUs the informauon 10 subscribers. Until 1he Fair Credit Reponing Act was passed in 1971. 1hc public had no recourse if it was denied credi1. This act ga,•e the public the right 10 kno" what information is in the credi1 bureau ·s files. Bereono said 1h31 technology not only enhances but Jlso restricts human freedom . because o relati,·ely ~mall number of people make the decisions that affect the mosses. "Technologies arc things produced by those (government. burcoucrntic. inStirutionol and sociol) systems to do "h:11 1hey want them 10 do. Technologies arise from the human desire 10 intervene in the environment.'' the Uni\'ersity of Washington professor said. Modem technology Is powerful because of its size Bercano said. Technologies 1end to be products. of n powerful group 10 society and cnn be seen as mechaoisms that powerful groups use 10 e:ttend their power.

"Technologies at the work place are not neutral."' Bereano said. The secretnry or factory worker have no pan in the deci~ion about new t«hnologiC!. in the work place. he said. and the social interactions change as n result of the new technologies. Johnson said that one of the major issues of the communication revolution is the issue of who gets access 10 the networks of telecommunications. The public does not havl' the right to space in oublic.itions or air time on radio and 1elcvision unless the QUblisher or station owner allows it. The former commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission said that the public should have access 10 every form of communication guaranteed now 3nd in the fu1ure. Speaking on the subject o( privacy, Rosenberg also said that insurance companies violate mdividual privacy m their investigutions. The b:1Dlcing industry ,•ioliues privacy since the passing of the Bank Secrecy Act about 10 years ago which requtres th:u deposits or withdrow:ils of Sl0.000 or more must be reponed 10 the Treasury Department. The Education31 Pri\'acy Act. passed in 197S. gives parents and students the right 10 see both their 3cedemic and personal files. the leading futurist said. ·· Privnc) is worth lighting for, and if you don ·1 fight for it and you lose it-<lon·1 ~- about it. because you can·1 rec:ipture it once it is lost,"' Rosenberg said. The right of pnvacy is not gunranteed by the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. but records on an indi,•idual c:u, affect one's destiny. so Rosenberg :idvises people to find out about lhe records being

k.cpt. Data collected on individuals should be relative to the impact on the lh•es of others. he said. The .imount of infonnation should be judged on the rl'sponsibility of the indl\'idual. Bereano Sllid that the mdusui31 revolution in England intervened "'ith the social pattern of the people in\'oh•cd in conage industry. Putting the people to work in fae1ones not only enabled 1hcm 10 produce more and better merchandise, but gave

management control over ihe workers. Tcchnololl)' Is a conscious, purposeful intervention into the order of things. he said. Social values arc affected by teehnology: it tends to empliluize the means. not 1he ends. "The major problem is differential distribution of power in this society-that some people are powerful and some hove less powe r and my thesis is that technology hos very frequent!)' exacerbated th111 power difference. rather than minimi,:e it a,nd I think that ts one mojor way m which technology threatens our freedoms." Berea no soid. ·· At the same umc, rve also poin1ed out that technology in some ways increases our options: and therefore eun be seen in w:iys as increasing our freedoms. They do both things simultaneously." Bereano soid th:11 while technology increases options. it decreases the quality of those op1ions. Rega rding the communication~ revolution. Johnson said that television has become 1he principal family activity in America. "Television has not only had an impact on our lives:· he said. · ' television hos become ou r lives. W:itching television has become who1 we do as human species." The way that teJe, ls.Ion bas grown bas nothing lo do with programming. Johnson. who wrote ··How to Talk Bad to Your Tele,•ision:· said. ··Toe sole purpose of television is to buy and sell people and 10 manipulate them into purchasing products they hove never asked for and would not have otherwise consu med." he said. · 'To get them to put things into their bodies that they would ne11~r dream of pu11ing in10 th e (gas) tank of their automobiles-- because you have respect for your automobile.'· The business of lelevision is selling Ll'le ronsu· mer·s eyes to the advenisers.

Shoplifters: Prankster or criminal? by Brace Mallen

bl researching I.be following UDU· lllped ,tory wltboal the lcnow~ge o( ti.r Cl edllon and advller, I (elt II •oald be best to get a 'gonzo' accoaat, t1iat II to Uve II On1 band. Wblk lhe e~rimce dld indeed prove valaa.ble

10 lbe story, from the lime I was apprehended ap throagb the lime my ~ beard aad ~ to II, I do DOI advoca1e sbopll(1lng. Fifty thousand dollars n year! Thal is the amount of 'money Idaho merchants lose in o year 10 shoplifters. Nationally. the figure is closer to SJ billion. In the same year the last figure was taken. only S2S million was los1 to banlt robbers in cash and negotiable securities. That s1a1istic proves -one of two things. Either all the banlt robbers in America took the year off to vaca1ion in Florida. or else shoplifting is a very underrated crime. I JUpecl the latter to be true. A 1980 survey conducted nationwide indicated that most people do not even consider shoplifting n crime. Those who do consider it a crime rote it only as a pelly offense. Dave Buick, manager of Buttrey's in Coeur d'Alene. feels the reason for this is that people rega rd shoplifting as a business problem . They feel the store is the one being siolen from. so the store should deal with it. .. Bui ... Buick said, •·people pay a lot of money to eat. unneccessarily. because of shoplifting and pilferage... He estimated thnt stores rnise prices from 2 to 5 percent ju~t to cover losses from theft, either by customers or by employees. Thi, malccs It very tough on stores. especially smoll ones. because in hard economic times employee wages must go down. Shoplifting increases in such umes. but money conno1 be expended to increase security. Janice Anderson. QSSbtant manager of the Circle K store on Sherman Avenue agrees that shoplifting is a common crime. bu1 see) one strong deterrent. " We're more of n neighborhood store, so you get 10 know your customers,·' she said. "The J..id) come in with ihcir parents and see us till king "'lth them in a friendly manner. so they don't steal from you. In the small store she "'orks at, Anderson soys that o cenam ~ympaih,· de, clops for someone who shophfb ou1 of need. "You feel sorry for them becau)e YO~ know their circumstances, .. she said... ,n that C3Se you ask them to give the hem bock and let them go." Bui when someone steals belligerently or he is doing it for a living Anderson is less compassiooiue. ' . " When you get a belligerent person in here shoplifting just 10 defy you, I would prefer that they got prosecuted. And I really don't care what happens to them."

Bigger stores are not often

as

compa~sionate as the small ones though. Unless the offender is a child, ,big stores have one main rule: prosecute. At least that is the impression they would like to create. As I was apprehended by 1he Rosauer's manager. he 11,as ver y firm. .. we·ve been hit hard by you guys so we·rc prosecuting everyone. We have no other choice... he told me. " Is this !the s tolen llem J wor th going to jail for?." he snid...cause that's where you're going to go." Then the manager left me in a room with a boxboy (to safeguard against a possible escape 011cmp1). and he promptly offered me a pinch of chewing tobacco (which was the item I hod ortempted to steal). So. twenty minutes after I had deliberately stolen an item from a store, I wQS out on the srrect with nothing but a citation in my pocket and a sm:ill line awaiting me in coun. At Buttrcy's the situation appears similar. In one month, 15 shoplifters were caught but only two were prosecuted. ' ' I would like 10 see firs t time offende rs have stiffer penohies," Buick said. But he also said. .. usuolly what we do is work out something with them where they can work off what they have stolen. Often times they tum out to be our best customers." Thnt stntement w:is directed :11 people who steal out of need. but did all 13 of the people who were not prosecuied sieal out of need? If a mnn walked in and robbed the cashier of SIOO. the store ,vould undoubtedly prosecute. So why not

prosecute oil shoplifters? Da,·e Speck. head of security at K.-Mart. explained. .. h's a matter of amount.'' Speck said. ·•1r a 9-ycar-old child came in and stoic n mitt because his parents are too poor to buy him one, should he go 10 prison ju.st because a guy who stenls a car does?" Children that age are most oflcn

deah with through their pnrents. The most frequent offenders. teenagers. are dealt with in rwo ways. Sometimes only their parents arc notified. but when they exhibit a poor artitude, 1he Police are called. " Quite a few of them have no qualms about doing it.·· Kline said. "'The)' rationalize that it won't hurt lhe store." That is an idea that disturbs Anderson. ''I! someone steals S5 out of their locker at school or a bicycle from their house. they are absolutely li\'id ... she claims. ··But when thev come in and steal from the store they don't even think of it in those terms.·· Generally though. there is no stereOt)'pe of a shoplifter. They come in all ages. from ,·arious backgrounds and from both sexes. That makes picking them ou1 a hard chore. Stores spend monc-y on ,·arious types of security- -mirrors. security personnel and electronic sensor de· vices-- but whether or not securit\' pays for itself is hard 10 say. • Store managers may argue that thC) arc very interested in stoppmg it. but realistically they do not ha, e the time or 1hc money. They have to run the business :iffairs of the store. wlit on customers and expenses for secunry ore limited. Buick admits this but cannot come

up wilh a remedy. "Steoling has been going on ever since man has, .. he said. "It used 10 be 1h01 you'd 1;~1 your hands cut off. But did that help? ,Ve still have people who steal. .. The ma.ximum penalty for shoplifting, (which is actually l3beled willful concealment). is a SJOO fine. si:r

months in jail or both. Yet ii is rarely imposed in Kootenai County. Tramed personnel is one of the be~t ways to combat 1he problem. and 1hc Kootenai County Crime Prevention Unit works hard a1 helping stores out. They train employees all o,er 1own on how to dc1cc1 shoplifters. how 10 approach them and on what 10 do after one is caught. The problem would be more solvable if shoplifters fit into some typl' of mold. bu1 they do not. As said earlier. they come in ;11 ages. from boih sexes and from different bac~rounds. People often steal because 1hev cannot afford an item. but just as ofte~ they can afford it. they steal on a dare. because they think the prices arc 100 high or just for I he thrill. L> nda Lee Po lier, a columnist for the Londo n Dailv Mail who inrcr· ,•ie\\ ed women shoplifters. found that they fell no sense of di.shooesty. but rather a sense of ,excitement from th('ir otherwise dull li\'CS. "I go! an orgasm everv ume I slipped something into my handbag ... said one woman. The reasons go beyond that however. nnd many expens agree 1ha1 it stems from a sense of cnii1lcment. .. It is o kind of unconscious mor-.il reasoning. demanding restitution," said New York psychologist Donald Kaplan. A desire to be caught. 10 t:ike risks and 10 release guilt are also cited as reasons b} expens. With all this unecrtal:nty over why people do it. 11,•ho does it and what the penallies should be. only one thing seems een:iin. It is hitting the s1ore5 harder and harder all the time. One shoplifter I met while doing the StOT) explained why she did it. "It's ,•el)· easy 10 get 3\\'3)' with." she s3Jd:'I go into a store and act like oil the or her customers. :ind I've stolen thmgs "hilc cler'.ks ,~ere standing ten feet awoy." "I've taken so much 1h01 the fioc lhey gn,·e me would not come dose to the amount I've gorten 3\\ ay "ith.' • she added. She nlso said that her fnends know she does it. but they do not cnre one "'4} or the other. The same 3ttitude seem\ 10 be the one man) people h.11·e When my friends found out 11,·hat I had done they merely laughed and joked about 11,nys I could have used 10 get awa> with i1. Perhaps they. ond evel')one. 11,ould 1rea1 ~hoplifting less jokingly if they knc11,•who ii reall>• hun. Bui ~,·en then, who1 could be done 10 prevent this crime? Would stiffer penahies 3nd lines decrease it? Would the disgust and loss of respect. from peers stop shoplifters? Or maybe we'll have 10 return 10 the practice of our medieval ancestors and cut off their hands.

Card baseball team beginning to hit form by Bany Baker

lntromurols worth it For those who tend 10 shy away from high-pressure. hardcore competition and prefer low-key. mello" type spons. one acceptable outle1 For thac competitive drive most of us share is inU'llmurnl spons. Teams most often are comprised of a group of friends who feel like gerting 1ogether and having a lirtle fun "~th another group of friends by wa) of some kind of athletic competition. Although intram11rals are organized to some utcn1. it's all more tuned into having a good lime than to winning or losing. Probably the biggest group of Students who enjoy competing in intramurnls are off-season athletes looking for some mental relaxation following 3 highly competitive and mentally draining season of ,•;usiry spons. But one can ftnd all kind of people in the intramural scene. from an majors to faculty members. Lnst fall. volleyball on the IM level became fairly intense and eventually proved to be an exciting spectator spon. And in the "mler. the IM crew hit the hoops for a lirtle bast c1ball acuon. which leads us into the current softball competition just getting under way. The :umosphere for these events is usually relaxed and mellow with an occ-asional grudge march or rivalry. With nnmes lite "Brew," "Death" or "Mudhens.'' it"s easy to believe that most everyone is out chere just 10 have fun with friends. All one needs to pl:iy in inc.ramurals is a few bored friends and live bucks for the entry fee. It is "'Orth the money: after all. who can put a price on fun.

Improvement from Coach Jack Bloxom·~ baseball squad shows the ceam's ability 10 be noticed a round Region 18. Its 14-9 over -all record shows the consis1an1 improveme nt over the last two week's 7- 1 record . Bloxom said this could be the worst sp~ing in 15 yors. Practices and games have been cancelled quite often, 3nd N!C seems 10 be conccoding with the obstacles to show improvement. ··we·re playing well." Bloxom said. "All you can ask for is tha1 every player jusc plays as well as they can." D efense Is shaping op as the Cardinals show their "surprisingly .. good pitching, which will account for some of the infield credit. With the defensive players showing improvemenc. the NlC b:aning is still on the roll. Freshman Scon Anderson bit a grand slam Apr il 9 against Eastern W ashingtoo to provide the runs in beaung EWU. S.1turday. April JO. Brian Wbnnon showed his power by hitting N'IC's second grand slam in two days wbeo NJC beat Lewis and Oark's JVs. Merlyn Bunn.age returned the Cardinals line-up after a.n injury side-lined him earher in the se:asoo. , " He (Bunnage) is playing third base

real well in the shon lime he ha~ been back." Bloxom said. NIC's record tu t )CU was 25-18. but Bloxom docs not like to predict how this year will tum out. "My record is always a concern , but 10 win or lose a ball game by one or rwo runs is hard eithe r way," he said. Baseball 1s n day by day s port . Players m:iy be up for the first game of 11 double header but might 001 be up for the night c:ipper. Fatigue. perhaps. mental aware ness or just about any· thiog could distract a baseball player from having a good game. Bloxom thinks that there is not just one ceam to look for during che season. buc. he said , they are of equal importance. " I don' t point to uy one team, excepc Trea su re Valley Community College and che Spolrane teams." Bloxom said. This year's Region 18 toumarn~t will be held at Ricks or CSI dependmg on the season·s turn. The toumarnenc is scheduled May 21 and 22. Lion- Ben ton upset Umpqua last year for the regional championship. Bloxom docs not count out post-season play as be praised the 1cam's effort on the ball playing so far this season.

''Password!" barks the slightly testy-looking sergeant at arms to the kindly doetor. Confused, the doctor muu.ers in a broke n Swedish accent. " I only here to help the pa1ie nt." "Very wen:· snaps the sergeant. "but you must swear yourself to secrecy!" Perplexed. the kindly doctor. who has ne-.er so much :is fu dged on hts golf score card. does swear himself to secrecy. Entering the room, the kindl>· doctor s pots the patient. Mr. Poliuco. holding his throat and breathing as if flustered "Yah, and what is problem?" quenes the ki ndl) doctor. Managing to wheeze out a few words. the patient says. "fae ry rime I attempt to talk I choke myself. .. " I see.·· answers the doctor as he reaches into bis bag of modem medical technological ad,·nnces. Pulling out an archaic-looking instrument and sticking two hearing devices into his kindly old ears. Dr. Penman abruptl) and rude l) finds himself in the full-nelson grasp of the sergeant at nrms. " Whal are you doing and what is that foreign-looking object?'' demands the burl)• ignoramus. Shaken. but retaining his kindly demeanor. the doctor etplains that he IS only going to listen to Poli1iro·s hean with a stethosrope to get a bette r and more accurate account of the sickness. "A listening de,•ice!I !?' · queries the sergeant, flabbergasted at such r. brazen anempt 10 disturb the privacy of an elected public official. "But it is necessary to get a clearer pinure of the ailment." explains the kindly doctor. "NoLhlng will be used i.n these chambers to ghe anJone a clearer picture of anything." barks the sergeant. "To the dungeons with him." After being told by the aide that tbis was the rwe nrieth century and dungeons were out-dated. the sergeant looks perplexed and relinquishes his hard-line stance. "All right, examine the patient (who by now is near death and is turning lovely shades of purple). but you must leave the listening device out of your ears so you do not in any way reveal any secrets of Mr. Politico." Exasperated, but seeing that he could not reason with the ninny. the kindly doctor went on with his work quietly whistling to himself ''The Bridge Over the River Kwai." that beautiful tune with no words.

Two students reprimanded by NIC Judiciary Council by Broce Padge t

Two NIC students were officially re!Jrimonded by the J udiclary CouncilApril 20 for tampering wi1h o vending machme loca1ed in Sherman Holl. Cunnie Williams and Frederick Douglas. both basketball players. wc:,e convicted under ci1y l;iw~ for bre11king int11 the machine on M,uch 20 and taking candy from it. Their sentence was o fine ofS25 each. coun costs or SJ I.SO each. and six months or probation. Action was laken by the Judiciary Council on April 8 when the council mstituted the following penalties against Williams nnd Douglas: -Placing them on probation until Sept. 25. - - Serving written repnmands against 1hem and pla.cing the reprimands In their personal tiles Bnd which will be removed at the end of the probMionary period if there were no fun.her disciplinary problems from the two. --Barring Willillms and Douglas from the gymnasium un1il Sep1. 25. --Requiring them to repay all ex penses incurred by All American Amusements. which owns the machine that was tampered with. Two meetings were scheduled prior to the April 8 meeting. but Williams did not aaend either. For his failure to appear. Williams was suspended from basketball for the fall 1982 semester at the April 8 meeting. Williams a.nd Douglas were advised by council member Rich Kuck to appeal the decision on the grounds that the pen3llies were excessive. Williams said at the April 20 appeal that he should not be penalized for failing to appear becuuse he was not given adequate notice as to the time and place of the meetings. Williams produced the summons he received for the second meeting, and it did not specify the correct room for the meeting. He did not produce the summons for the first meeting. Council member Carolyn Pfister said that under the circumstances. the council could not penalize W"tllfams for failing to appear. Williams and Douglas argued chat barring them from basketball practice was unfair. since it had nothing to do with the infraction they committed. Chairman Dan Fitzpatrick said that the reason for the basketball suspensions was to .. hit them where it huns." Williams and Douglas also argued that they should not be punished by the school. since they bad already been punished by the city. Fiupatrick pointed ou1. however. that punishm~t by civil authorities d~ not forbid the college from tak.ing action. though it can be taken into account 1n the penalties instituted by the Judiciary Council. After 40 minutes or deliberation. the council changed the penalties for Willwns and Douglas to: -Probation for the duration of Willi:uns' and Dooglos' enrollment at NJC. -Written reprimands to be placed in their files. ·10 be removed at the end or their probation if there are no further in.fractions. . . . -Repaying all erper.ses incurred by AU American Amusement 111 the 111odcnt. which have been estimated by AU American Amusement at SS.3.66. Also, Williams received a wrirten reprimand for his failure lo appur at the first scheduled meeting.

Television positive m edium, convocations speaker says Television can be used as a force of good rather than evil. Milton Rotcach said April JJ in the C·A Auditorium. Roteach. a professor of sociology and psychology al Washington Staie University and director of the Unit on Human Values lit the Social Research Center. told listeners al the April 13 second symposium of the NIC Convocation Series that tclevi!lion C3n be used for self-improvement. "The wort with television rcpre· sents my artemp1 before 1984 is upon us to employ the television medium," Rokcach said. "(Its purpose is) not to enslave people but to enlighten. educate and change. not ln the interest of •Big Brother' but in themselves. Rokeach said that he interpreted George Orwell's ''1984" as being a warning to mankind. " We arc oow using the television medium to ask how maoy different ways it con be used as II force of personal good rather tl1on forcing a veil of ignorance over people as Orwell describes in '1984.'" he s11id. Rokeoch began his presentation with a JO-minute program called "TI1e Great American Values Test.·• which was aired an the Tri,Ci1ics area in Washington Feb. 27, 1979. The progrnm deo lt wiLh Lhe vnlues

According to Rokcach. there WlS a signifiCMI change in t.he values :1nd behavior patterns of people wbo watched the program without inter· ruption. ' 'The impact of this show was tremendous.'' he said. Rokcach said that the values of the program watcher changed by increas· ing the imponanec of equality and freedom o.s well as a world of beauty and that rocist and sexist artirudcs decreased greatly.
